 | Teaching Poetry
This book is for all teachers, but especially for those who want to teach poetry in their classrooms, but don't know where or how to.....begin. It's for teachers who aren't sure where to look for poems to read to their students, or which poems to choose once they start looking. It's for every teacher who ever said: 'I really want to teach poetry, but I had such horrible experiences with poetry when I was in school--I don't want to turn my students off! I never know how to begin.'
